On Friday, Mayor Turner will join Dan Yergin and Bobby Tudor in a CERAWeek Plenary, Building the Innovative City of the Future. As a global leader advancing energy transition, Houston is home to virtually every segment of the energy industry including exploration, production, transmission, marketing, supply and technology. The city is working towards producing 5 million megawatt hours of local solar energy per year by 2050 and aims for electric vehicles making up at least 50% of cars sold in Houston by 2050.

CERAWeek provides a forum for discussing new ideas and solutions for global uncertainty driven by pandemic and shifting geopolitics. This year's conference addresses "Navigating a Turbulent World: Energy, Climate and Security" with strategies for an industry struggling to adapt.
